Zeus Strikes Us Down | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 81.2

*** This is Part 2 of 2! Watch Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/BCXG2zYyq2g *** Just as we?re about to tuck Soulianis away for the summer season, our good fortune with Mother Nature runs out. Did we really expect to get through of all of these storms scot free? One afternoon while floating on our mooring ball in St Augustine, a tiny squall rolls in. It doesn?t look that bad, but it proves itself otherwise. A huge crack of lightning seems to hit the water within a couple hundred feet of us. Initially we don?t think anything of it, but then, one by one, we discover a cascade of failures throughout our electrical system. According to the insurance agent that assisted with our claim, 1/3 of all Boat US?s lightning strike claims come from Florida. Hunting for a boatyard to haul out Soulianis had already proven difficult ? everywhere seemed to be full. Now we really need a haul out ASAP to inspect our hull and sort out all the damage from our electrifying experience. Join us as we navigate one of the tougher realities of owning a boat with lightning rod.
